Nancy Meyers Drops 'The Holiday' BTS Photos, But Still Insists It Ain't a Christmas Movie
Director Nancy Meyers shares behind-the-scenes photos from her 2006 classic 'The Holiday,' while also explaining why she never intended for it to be a Christmas movie.
Just in time for Christmas, director Nancy Meyers has gifted fans of her 2006 rom-com classic, The Holiday, a gallery of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram. The post celebrates the film's enduring legacy as a seasonal favorite, a status the acclaimed director surprisingly never intended for the movie, which grossed more than $200 million at the global box office.
A Holiday Treat from the Director
On Monday, Meyers shared a collection of candid shots from the set, featuring stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black. The photos show playful moments, including Winslet and Black posing back-to-back and Diaz gearing up to playfully punch co-star Edward Burns.
Thank you for tagging me in all of your posts about The Holiday. I love them all. Here’s some photos you might enjoy. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Despite its firm place in holiday movie marathons, Meyers has repeatedly stated she doesn't view The Holiday as an actual holiday movie. Speaking on the Hollywood Gold podcast last December, she explained her reasoning.
Meyers revealed she set the story during Christmas because it's a time of year that can amplify feelings of loneliness, which she wanted to explore through the film's 'damaged' characters finding connection.
A New Chapter on Apple TV+ (Without Meyers)
The film's legacy is set to continue with an upcoming limited series adaptation from Apple TV+ written by Krissie Ducker. However, Meyers will have no involvement. She expressed her own surprise at the announcement back in August, posting a screenshot of the news on her Instagram Story with the caption, 'News to me.'
'The Holiday' saga is a perfect case study of 'death of the author' in the digital age. Despite Nancy Meyers' original intent, audiences have collectively adopted and redefined the film as a Christmas classic. This shows how a creation's cultural meaning can evolve far beyond the creator's control, cemented by annual traditions and social media trends.
